I am so glad I chose UT-Houston as the place to learn to become a competent, compassionate pathologist. First of all, residents, faculty, and staff encourage, support, teach and challenge each of us to reach our fullest potential. The transition from a clinically oriented medical school curriculum to pathology is easier when you know that your fellow residents and faculty are there to provide you guidance and insight: be it grossing in a difficult specimen or being on call for Blood Bank, Second, whether your interests are in research, academics or private practice the faculty's experiences reflect the spectrum of pathologists everywhere. And the intangibles, great facilities such as Memorial Hermann Hospital, LBJ, MD Anderson, St. Luke's, and The Methodist Hospital allow us learning opportunities that are second to none.
